Mr.. HANsEN's REMARKS.
Responding sto calls from all
parts of the room. AIR. Hansen,
took the floor and said in sal g
stance:
He said he telt hum;Iiated 10
realize that the necessity existed
for the call of citizens 10 form a
Law and Order League. All good
citizens should favor the enforce
ment of the Law. Those aho
disobey the Law have no right to
ask lis protection. This meeting
has been brought about by the
determination ofthe Agricultural
Society to sell Beer at the Fair.
The officers OF the Woman's lem
perance Christian Association re
spectfnlly requested that this be
not done. The request was dis
regarded. Most Of the Board, at
least, are gentlemen, but they
made the mistake in trying TO
have good Fair. The Society
wants money, and this was one
plan to make il. Hundreds of
our best citizens, and particularly
the Ladies', do not want Beer
sold on the Fair grounds. The
privilege TO sell was bought by
man entirely irresponsible for the
pitiable sum of $4,000. | am
sorry the Society has gone into
the saloon business. If / was a
Director and did this, and my
hoy went there and got drunk.
how could | complains He could
say, Father, that was your sa-
LOOM"
Mr.. Hansen spoke on the duty
of all good citizens to obey the
Laws; tolerated violation of
one law in a community encour-
aged the violation OF other laws.
and if one class are permitted to
disregard and defy the law, why
not another? Why not all
cl1sses2
Said he: There is not a man in
my hearing who will not say that
drinking is an evil habit. The
Law says it is. The Supreme
Court says it, All churches and
all parties say it. The Statute is
against this evil. Let us be hon-
est in our declarations and pre-
vent the evil when we can. A
member of the Board said TO me,
Beer will be sold at the Fair
ground. Now what are you go
ing to do about itg" 1 believe
he is an honest man. further
believe he is mistaken, and lie
will see what we will do about il.
The remarks OF Mr.. Hansen were
loudly npplauded.
Mr.. Ihomas-"I read III the SEN
TINEL that the privilege to sell beer
was granted by the Agricultural
Society, and that the Society would.
protect the man who bought the
privilege
Nj. Green, speaking for the SEN
TlNEL, said that he had called at the
room of the Directors and was in
formed that the beer privileges
would be sold. and got the impress
ion from the members presen, that
the purchaser ofthe privilege would
be protected. This statement he
published. On Saturday the priv
llege was sold, the Board refusing
to take any risks.
Mr.. Thomas"-I SEQ President
of the Agricultural Society present.
l ask HIM to say if be is corr ectly
reported in authori zing the sale of
beer at the Fair Grounds"
Mr.. Pond-.'The Board is not
always responsible for what news
papers say. We farmers are not
responsible for what a man who is
no, s'Farmer" writes for paper
and signs his name as such.
